We had rather more at Kent.

Our Computing Lab acquired a MEiKO Computing Surface, a parallel computer 
initially with 20 T414 (first generation) transputers growing to 185 
T800s (second generation). Funded entirely through research grants, this 
was made open access for all research groups at Kent and undergraduate 
and taught Master's projects.
